Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Cao Xuan released a single last time, Cao Xuan had no reputation, so he could only choose to cooperate with Lan Qi and adopt a devious radio promotion strategy.

    Today, Cao Xuan, who is already well-known in the music scene in the Mainland, has changed his publicity resources in all aspects compared to last year.

    Needless to say about the radio station, with Jiang Yue as a "hostage" in hand, Cao Xuan didn't need to worry at all.

    In terms of TV, Cao Xuan and Beijing TV have established some contacts in the last collaboration of "Carrying Love to the End".

    As for the newspaper media, Cao Xuan has done various interviews this year, and he also knows many newspaper offices and reporters. He spends some public relations fees, so he doesn't have to worry about having no page.

    Even with Cao Xuan's current fame and popularity, some music or entertainment newspapers will take the initiative to help publish the news that Cao Xuan is about to release a new album, even if they don't pay public relations fees.

    The above are still Cao Xuan's personal resources. Warner, as an album partner, will not just watch and not work.

    After all, it is also a well-known major record company. Even if it has not yet fully entered the mainland market, the promotional resources it can mobilize are not comparable to Cao Xuan himself.

    Otherwise, Cao Xuan would not be willing to pay so much profit, and he could find a large printing house to record and distribute the goods.

    For the album "Starry Stars", Cao Xuan's opinion is to fill 800,000 copies, including 500,000 CDs and 300,000 tapes.

    Last time "Ten Thousand Reasons" sold more than 600,000 copies of the original version, Cao Xuan felt that he could be bold this time, lest if it became popular, the embarrassment of Lan Qi would reappear.

    However, the person in charge of Warner's contact with Cao Xuan felt that it was too risky, and was only willing to agree to refill 500,000 copies, and 300,000 of them were tapes.

    After all, the cost of recording the album is borne by Warner. If the album is not sold after recording too much, Cao Xuan doesn't have to pay a penny, and they will lose.

    At the critical moment, Warner's new head, Zhou Jianhui, specifically asked for the master tape of "Big Stars".

    After listening to "Twilight" and "Running", he immediately called the person in charge and asked him to agree to Cao Xuan's request to record 800,000 copies.

    And after he finished listening to "Fairy Tale", Zhou Jianhui immediately called the person in charge again.

    "Don't want 800,000 cards, just pour 1 million cards directly, yes, you heard it right, it's 1 million cards.

    And most of them have to carry MV discs, and Taiwan Province also needs to stock up. Believe me, the opportunity for the rebirth of the flying saucer has come.  "

    Zhou Jianhui was not satisfied after making the phone call, so he flew directly from Taiwan Province to Beijing by plane the next day, and was personally in charge of the distribution of "Starry Stars".

    And when he saw Cao Xuan at Baihua Recording Studio, the first thing he blurted out was "Cao Xuan".

    "How much are you willing to sign for Warner?"

    "President Zhou was joking."

    Cao Xuan was confused and instinctively humbled himself, but Zhou Jianhui shook his head and expressed his seriousness.

    "I really hope you can join Warner. I heard Nanren Beicao in Taiwan before. I thought it was a joke. Now I know I was wrong.

    Rolling Stone is now in full swing because of Ren Xianqi, if we Warner want to revive the former glory of UFO, you are our best choice.  "

    Only then did Cao Xuan realize that Zhou Jianhui was not joking, he hesitated for a moment, and said.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I have no plans to join a record company for the time being."

    "What about long-term cooperation?"

    Zhou Jianhui was not too disappointed, he had studied Cao Xuan's information before coming.

    The personal creative ability is extremely strong, and there is no need to rely on record companies to help collect songs and produce them.

    ? When I was a newcomer, I dared to release singles independently. After I became famous, I quickly set up my own studio.

    So from the very beginning, Zhou Jianhui didn't have much confidence in signing Cao Xuan to Warner. His real goal was to reach a long-term cooperation partner with Cao Xuan.

    To put it bluntly, I hope to make Cao Xuan a golden brand of Warner, attracting other singers to join.

    Cao Xuan was a little moved by Zhou Jianhui's proposal, but he didn't immediately agree.

    After all, if he signs a cooperation contract with Warner, it means that his new album/single will be tied to Warner in the next few years.

    This is not a trivial matter. Cao Xuan has to carefully consider it, at least to see the sincerity and strength shown by this cooperation with Warner.

    Cao Xuan did not explicitly refuse, but only said that he was considering it, and Zhou Jianhui knew in his heart that this matter would not be settled for a while.

    The two had a brief chat about the new album. As the host, Cao Xuan took Zhou Jianhui to find a good restaurant to welcome him.

    Cao Xuanyou?To make contacts, Zhou Jianhui was determined to win Cao Xuan, the "big talent". On the banquet table, the two sides chatted happily.

    Zhou Jianhui also joked with a smile. Last year, the Taiwanese media hurt Cao Xuan so badly. This year, I really want to see how they beat themselves up.

    Cao Xuan is also looking forward to it, but with a high probability, he also understands that the possibility of this happening is too low.

    After all, "self-deception" and "memory of fish" are old traditions of Taiwanese media, which have remained unchanged for decades

    And when Cao Xuan and Zhou Jianhui met, "Twilight" and "Angel's Wings", which were sent to the radio station for preheating, also began to gradually exert their strength.

    When the time comes to April, the popularity of the top songs at the beginning of the year has gradually dropped. Now the most active song is Naying's new album's title song "Conquer".

    During the Spring Festival Gala, she sang "Meet 98" with Wang Fei, which made Naying's popularity soar, and she faintly became the queen of pop music in the mainland.

    Taking advantage of the situation, [EMI Records] behind Naying is determined to make every effort to build Naying, so that she can completely secure her position as the Queen of the Mainland.

    EMI spent a lot of money to invite a number of well-known music producers to tailor a new album "Conquer" for Naying.

    The songs on this album are of high quality.

    The title song "Conquer" from the album of the same name, the Divine Comedy on Fighting, is also Naying's most popular masterpiece after that.

    The popular Spring Festival Gala "Meeting on Nine Eight", also specially recorded a solo by Naying.

    There are also "No matter how bitter" written based on the relationship between Naying and Gao Feng, and many excellent songs such as "Wake Up from a Dream", "You Are My Person", "What Attitude", "I Love This Day the Most".

    In addition, Wang Feigan, who is also the queen of EMI Records, was a green leaf and personally helped Naying harmonize.

    It can be said that this "Conquest" is the album with the highest gold content since Naying's debut.

    EMI and Naying are ambitious, hoping to use this album to steadily improve her status in the music scene, and even catch up with Wang Fei.

    The "Conquer" album is decided to be released on April 15th, in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    At the end of March, EMI began to release "Conquer" and "Meet Nine Eight" to hit the charts.

    In just one week, two songs began to reach the top of the major music charts, and "Conquer" has even begun to occupy the top of some charts.

    And at this time, a song "Twilight" came out halfway.

    On April 6, "Twilight" and "Angel's Wings" made their debut on Beijing Radio.

    On that day alone, Beijing Radio Station received more than a dozen requests for the two songs. After the two songs were broadcast by the Central Radio Station, the rate of requests for the two songs on the station skyrocketed.

    On April 8th, "Twilight" first appeared on the China Central Radio music rankings, ranking eighth at the beginning.

    The next day, "Angel's Wings" also appeared on the CNR list, ranking twelfth, while "Twilight" had reached the top six.

    Entering mid-April, "Twilight" has repeatedly broken its strong opponents in the rankings, and its momentum is close to that of "Conquer".

    "Twilight" is on fire
